What, In your opinion, is the biggest myth on the web??
Just as the title says :D
A common myth is that "high traffic volumes = a successful website" You can have high volumes of traffic but if they are not targetted or related, then it means absolute zero are there any other Internet Myths out there, lets start to collect them here ;) |
PR and Alexa - Highly over-rated, some people can't think of anything else for their website.
|
The biggest myth on the web is that little pills made out of herbal supplements will make you a better lover.

kk u asked for it :)
Internet Explorer 8 is better than Firefox 3 If you know anything about me, you know I have no fondness for Microsoft. If you really know me, though, you know that, much as I like open-source software and dislike proprietary programs, I'm a pragmatist. What I really like best in technology is what works best. That's why I put up with Apple's closed door policies and use an iPod, and why I now have to say that Microsoft Internet Explorer 8 is better than Firefox 3.0.7. How can I say that? I can say it because I've been using Internet Explorer 8 on my Windows XP SP3 and Windows 7 systems for several months now and it Just Works Better. Of course, working better than IE 7 wasn't much of a trick. IE 7 was a dog. But after years of lagging behind Firefox, IE has finally caught up with Firefox's current production version. Specifically, IE 8 does a great job of handling tabs. I can all too easily get lost in a forest of tabs with Google Chrome or Firefox. With IE 8, when you open one tab from a link in another, the 'related' tabs have the same color. By automatically organizing the tabs by color-coding, managing tabs just became a lot easier. This is one of those incredibly useful ideas that, after it arrives, you wonder how it ever could have taken so long for it to appear. Microsoft has also included three useful new privacy tools in IE 8. The one that I've no doubt will see the most use is InPrivate Browsing, aka "porn mode." With it, you can launch a browsing session that will leave no traces behind of where you've been-cookies, browsing history, temporary files, etc-after you ended the session. InPrivate Filtering sounds like InPrivate Browsing, but its purpose is quite different. With it you can block the site you're visiting from accessing other sites. While this will make many mash-up sites blow up, it helps make sure that your information is going to only the site you think you're visiting. Finally, the anti-phishing filter, now named SmartScreen, has also been improved. IE 8's overall performance has also been enhanced. It can now keep up with Firefox 3. Internet Explorer 8 is far from perfect. I find it more than a little amusing that it can't render sites that have been 'enhanced' for IE 7. All of which goes to show, as I've long thought, that anyone who writes a site specifically for a version of Internet Explorer is an idiot. Web sites should be usable to anyone with a standards-compliant Web browser. That said, IE 8 actually is, I think, better than Firefox 3. I'm not, however, switching from Firefox as one of my main two Windows browsers. Why not? First, while Firefox has been lagging lately in its upgrades, it still has dozens of powerful extensions that make it more useful. In particular, Firefox with the Google Toolbar and Foxmarks goes from a good Web browser to being a great Web browser. Google Chrome, while it doesn't have Firefox's extensions, is the fastest Web browser around. So, I think, we have a real three-horse race in Windows Web browsers: IE 8, Firefox 3.x and Chrome 2.x. For the first time in ages, Microsoft has a real contender. I'm looking forward to seeing how Mozilla and Google's developers address this challenge. http://blogs.computerworld.com/inter...than_firefox_3 |

IE8 is doing quite well, even surpassing Firefox in usability. Not to mention, being an integral part of the OS, it's quite a bit more responsive. :) --------------- Added [DATE]1241775556[/DATE] at [TIME]1241775556[/TIME] --------------- Not to double-post, but lasto got his in while I was typing. IE8 != IE7 It's that simple. The reason sites "enhanced" (read: intentionally broken) for IE7 or lower don't work on IE8 is because IE8 actually works. Many sites are just looking for the "IE" useragent string and then malforming their pages to make IE7 or lower render them correctly. This is wrong. They should not be applying these "enhancements" to IE8, as it handles the web just as well as Firefox or Chrome. (Although Chrome's usability is still in question, but that's another topic.) ________________ Biggest myth on the internet: Google is a search engine. |
Biggest myth - AIM is a fun IM client

Biggest myth - you can believe any of what you read on the net :p

That it's easy to run a forum and anyone can do it. Not true.
|
if you build a forum, members will just appear ...... sadly it isn't the case ....
... and the internet is for porn ... oh wait! oops! :p |
That clicking a banner will win you a free iPod, Xbox, Computer, or Free Ringtones.
(Then again, I've never clicked, so maybe it's true) |

People say that high PR means a successful website. Well I think it does. If you have high PR you will have good SERPs. But I suppose that you would have to be successful to have high PR in the first place.
|
That you can set up a forum in a few minutes, get an instant member base posting and start making huge amounts of money before the day's over. Got to love those people who just post the rules and think throwing money at an empty forum will get them to be the next instant internet success without trying.

That Alexa ranking is accurate. Its like saying you have a clean ass if you use Charmin only to wipe your bum. Yes, that bum has a high Charmin ranking, but yours doesnt because you didnt use Charmin to wipe it...

There is no end to the Internet. :D
